In a shocking turn of events that has the internet ablaze with more fire than a Kylie Jenner lip kit, Reverend Reginald Righteous, known for his fiery sermons condemning the ‘sinful degeneracy’ of drag queens, was spotted last night slaying in a full-fledged, sequin-encrusted drag performance at his church’s annual Halloween bash. Eyewitnesses report he channeled a breathtaking RuPaul-meets-Joan-of-Arc aesthetic, complete with a shimmering breastplate (presumably bulletproof, given his previous pronouncements), and a surprisingly agile death drop that left parishioners speechless.

'It was... transformative,' stammered one congregant, clutching a half-eaten communion wafer. 'I mean, I've never seen the Good Book interpreted quite so… literally. He was truly channeling the spirit of… well, let's just say the spirit of fabulousness.'

Reverend Righteous, reached for comment while applying glitter to his meticulously sculpted eyebrows, simply stated, 'Honey, this is my *divine* right. The Lord works in mysterious ways, and sometimes those ways involve a six-inch heel and a perfectly arched eyebrow. Besides, my interpretation of scripture now includes a generous amount of shimmer and a whole lot of sass.' He then proceeded to flawlessly lip-sync to Lizzo's 'About Damn Time,' seemingly without a stitch of irony.

Critics, unsurprisingly, have exploded in outrage, with several prominent homophobes calling for a complete and utter 'un-hallowing' of Halloween. One particularly outspoken individual, known only as 'Karen' on several online forums, claimed the pastor's actions constituted 'a direct affront to God and my precious pumpkin spice latte.' However, many others have praised the Pastor's surprisingly progressive display, arguing that it proves that even the most staunch conservatives can be converted... to the fabulousness of a good drag show. The only real question now is: will next year's sermon include a tutorial on contouring?
